Kidney:
This description is of your kidney and ureteral anatomy. A full explanation, which you deserve, is best given by a urologist who has the x-rays and can review the findings and their meanings with you.

Not seen on kub:
KUB is image of abdomen without any contrast material. Details of kidneys not visualized. Pelvocalyceal fullness can not be appreciated. Ultasound exam or study with intravenous contast such as CT can show collecting systems of kidneys and would demonstrate pelvocalyceal fullness,

Here are some. ..:
Pelvicalyceal fullness on both sides (kidneys) may mean nothing important if the size, tissue thickness, & contour of both kidneys and blood test for renal function are normal. Pelvicalyceal is a technical term which denotes the hollow part of kidney for collecting & transporting the urine down to the ureter. For individual detailed significance, ask your doc.

Here are some...:
Without clinical symptoms and history, fairly speaking, a professional could not deduce a clinically relevant diagnosis from the one-time finding of pelvicalyceal fullness in left kidney, although possible mild long-term functional "obstruction at the upper part of ureter needs to be considered. So, ask and discuss this finding with your doctor so to reach reasonable possible explanation. Best...

Genetic testing:
We can not conclude the genetic status of the baby based only on these findings. This typically would prompt further testing. There are blood tests that are commonly done to help assess the risk of the genetic abnormalities during the 1st and 2nd trimester of pregnancy. Contact your doctor to determine if these were done and schedule a visit to discuss the sonogram findings in detail.

Multiple:
Sgpt of 40 appears to be normal by our lab cut offs. Total protein of 8.1 is normal or minimally elevated, so your liver seems ok by these tests. Left kidney minimal fullness - that by itself doesn't tell me what the problem is and where it is located.

Possible obstruction:
This is a back-up of urine in the collecting system portion of the kidneys where they drain urine down into the ureters. It will take more testing to find out where the possible obstruction, if any, exists, see a Urologist for more info

? obstruction?:
Dilatation of the ureter usually implies a blockage to urine flow into the urinary bladd. Since it is mild, it may just be a normal variation. But why did you have CT scan done in the first palce? If there is concern, your doctor can check your urine (Urinalysis. If you have any new symptoms such as abdominal pain. the CT scan of your abdomen should be repeated in 3 to 6 months time to follow up on

Likely insignificant:
Depends on degree of pelvi-calyceal ectasia. No problem if mild or moderate, but might require further investigation if this is in fact moderate or severe hydronephrosis (swelling containing urine). Some radiologists use these terms interchangeably.

U can:
I'm assuming u have bilateral rotator cuff tears. Iif their are no contraindications you should have these fixed arthroscopically. In the mean time u can strengthen your shoulders by doing isometric rc strengthening exercises. I wouldn't do " shoulder" and " chest" workouts in the gym. This could aggravate your rc pain and possibly increase the size of the tears!

Renal anatomy:
The solid tissue of the kidney is divided into an outer cortex and inner medulla. The blood is filtered and urine and is produced here. Urine is emptied into the collecting system of the renal pelvis. The ureters then transport urine to the bladder. Prominence or enlargement of the collecting system can sometimes indicate obstruction to this outflow. Bilateral means it is seen on both sides.

Stable = good+/-.:
Fullness means there is something more buldging/larger than expected in an area. Peri-hilar means the area where your bronchial tree in the lung area splits up into the different branches that go out to the lung. Therefore, you have a fullness of that area. Stable can be good, but what is the time frame? To be safe, check with the ordering doc to see if it needs further testing.

Depends:
10-11cm tears.? Prob. U meant 10-11mm or~ 1 cm tears? If the tears are small and symptomatic arthroscopic rot. Cuff repair may be indicated in your age. If they are really big (3-4 inch) tears involving more than one rc tendon than your arthroscopic repair may take longer to heal and rehabilitate (4-6 months).Seek an ors surgeon skilled in shoulder surgery. Good luck!

Minimal swelling:
Swelling of major urine ducts between collecting tubules and kidney pelvis, which 'funnel' draining all urine from kidney into the ureter. Mild fullness, usually within normal limits. Can signify minimal partial kidney obstruction from an anatomic narrowing, or from infection. Can also be from ureteral obstruction at bladder level, bladder neck ot urethra or bladder reflux or hight urine flow rate.

It is difficult:
The only reliable approach to determining food intolerances or sensitivities is to use avoidance and provocative food intolerance testing, i.e. an elimination diet followed by a “challenge” to see whether a suspect food really does set off a reaction. If possible do the food test "blind" so you don't know if the suspect food is present or not in order to rule out any psychological bias.

They're fixable:
We generally think in terms of centimeters - if both shoulders have similar size tears, then they are in the 'small' category, 1-2 cm in size. As long as the tissue quality is good and the mris are recent, they should be repairable, likely arthroscopically. However, the full recovery time is in the 3-6 month range regardless. As for pain, that depends more on the patient than the surgery.

Likely nothing:
The calyces of the kidney fill with urine and drain down the ureter into the bladder. Sometimes they are filled with urine and sometimes they are empty. CT scans and ultrasounds see the kidney in one moment in time. Your calyces were most likely normally filled with urine.

Absolutely:
Assuming you truly have mild failure, and you implement the therapeutic lifestyle changes needed (weight loss, salt restriction) and your doctors prescribe the appropriate medications in the appropriate doses, and you are compliant with the medications, you should get back to full & normal activities, or very close to it. Patient and doctor both have to hold up their ends of the deal! Good luck!
